Christy Johnson

The Millennium Project was founded in 1996 after a three-year
feasibility study with the United Nations University, Smithsonian
Institution, Futures Group International, and the American Council for
the UNU. It is now an independent nonprofit global participatory
futures research think tank of futurists, scholars, business planners,
and policy makers who work for international organizations, governments,
corporations, NGOs, and universities. The Millennium Project manages a
coherent and cumulative process that collects and assesses judgments
from over 2,500 people since the beginning of the project selected by
its 40 nodes around the world. This work is distilled in its annual
State of the Future, the
Futures Research Methodology series,
and
special studies.

Christy was previously
Vice President for Film, Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce,
Winston-Salem, North Carolina and
Executive Director,
Arkansas Motion Picture Development Office.

Christy wants to never stop learning and to never stop caring. She
wants
the
world to be a better place and if she can play a role in that happening,
then she wants to do just that. She wants to make a difference in the
world, and in lives. Christy has faced many challenges in her life, and
she
wants to take
what she learned from them to help others facing challenges themselves.

She earned her B.A. in Radio-Television-Film with a Minor in Creative
Writing at the
University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1987.
